PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  10/16/24 
   
Featured track  Keeneland  
   
Race number  3 
   
Race overview  A meek 20k N2L for 3upfm at 6 furlongs on the main track. 
   
Pace  It looks honest enough, as there are a few who want to go early, though there are also a slew of stalker/closers, which suggests you want to be close early. 
   
Trends  The main track continues to play fair, with winners coming from everywhere, and last week it even seemed to tilt towards off-the-pace runners a little bit. 
   
Best Play  #10 SOMBRA DORADA (5-2): Stiff class dropper dueled then tired against tons better last time, drew perfectly here, and looks primed for a breakthrough at this reduced level. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. 
   
Play of the Day Winners  Kee POD: 8-3-1-0 ($2.33/$5.59 through 10/13)
